    A thing of the past a wooden fish box millions were made but you harly see any now how many barrows were made with a wooden box.
    Lorry load of chappies James.
    All for R Croan & Sons of Edinburgh - what happened to that company?
    I beleave Robert Croan passed away 2/3 year ago I think the firms still going.
    aye willie a thought u would have spotted this fellow he was about the marine pretty often.
    James I have seen him before half bottle down the seaboot and a bag of pepperment to try and take the smell away.
    strange nobodys come up with this chaps name willie think he was fond o a sherry.
